Navigational Safety
Marine Aids to Navigation
for Offshore Wind Farms
From marine lanterns to sound signals, ID signs and AIS systems we make sure that vessels can navigate in and around offshore wind farms.
Offshore wind farms consist of numerous turbines, often spanning many square kilometers, but they function as a single obstruction that needs to be clearly marked. Our marking solutions are essential for helping mariners navigate safely, especially in low-visibility conditions such as fog, storms, or nighttime.

More InformationNavigational safety is essential in offshore wind farm operations. Sabik Offshore provides a full range of marking systems – visual, audible, and digital – designed to ensure safe navigation around offshore structures in all conditions. All systems are remotely monitored and controlled and the system includes a battery back-up.
Comprehensive Wind Farm
Marking Solutions
Offshore wind farms must remain safely navigable – in clear skies or dense fog, by day or night. Precise marking ensures that mariners can recognize, avoid, and respond to offshore structures at all times, supporting both safety and operational continuity.
1 | Marine Lanterns
Our marine lanterns serve as a primary visual aid for mariners. These sophisticated lights:
Signal Obstruction: Clearly mark the boundaries of the wind farm, helping mariners identify it from a distance.
Provide Orientation: The lanterns are synchronized to indicate the perimeter of the wind farm, giving clear guidance and avoiding confusion, even in poor weather.
Minimize Light Pollution: Advanced technology in the lanterns ensures that the lights serve their purpose without contributing unnecessary light pollution, preserving the surrounding marine environment.

2 | ID Marking
Each turbine in the wind farm is labeled with a unique alphanumeric identifier, which must remain visible at all times. We provide illuminated ID marking solutions to ensure these names are clearly visible at night and during low-visibility conditions. This visibility is crucial for:
Search and Rescue Operations: Clear identification helps emergency and special service teams locate specific turbines quickly.
Operational Efficiency: Easy turbine identification aids in the coordination of maintenance and service operations.

3 | Fog Signal
In low-visibility conditions such as fog, sound becomes a critical tool for safety. Our fog signal systems provide:
Audible Warnings: Covering an area of at least 2 nautical miles around the wind farm, these signals alert mariners to the presence of the wind farm even when visual cues are obscured.
Continuous Coverage: Our fog signal systems are designed to operate reliably in harsh offshore conditions, ensuring mariners are always alerted to potential hazards.

4 | Digital Marking with AIS
We integrate automatic identification system (AIS) technology to ensure that wind farms are visible on digital navigation systems:
Real-Time Digital Mapping: The AIS signal allows the wind farm to appear on electronic maps used by vessels, providing an additional layer of safety for mariners navigating near the site.
Seamless Integration: This system works in harmony with other digital tools used by modern vessels, ensuring that wind farms are easily identified and accounted for during navigation.
